Last month when I returned back to Singapore for a short holiday, I brought my newest outfit out with me to shoot with Lenne Chai in her studio. I haven’t had such an exhilarating experience in a long time and here’s why.
Braille everything

So each fashion project ends with a photo shoot and illustrations. This time to close this project, I decided to draw illustrations for sighted people and dot my technical drawings for blind people to understand my clothes. During my braille research, I came across a polaroid camera that helped to take braille pictures for blind people. Okay, I can’t exactly say it’s braille since it dots the shape of the object and doesn’t utilise the language but you know what I mean!
So, I studded the lines to allow them to feel the outlines of my clothes and possibly the different parts in it. If I had more time, I would perfect the dotting system, perhaps using the same sized dots for everything and getting all the spaces right.
This braille concept has so much more space to explore and I don’t feel like I’ve totally exhausted everything. Maybe womenswear next?
